Alex Seton: A History of Forgetting

February 11, 2022 - April 17, 2022

Courtesy: the artist, Sullivan+Strumpf, Syndey and Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre.

A History of Forgetting continues Alex Seton’s interrogation of the unreliability of memory, both personal and collective. For the artist, growing up in Australia is to be aware of the blank pages in our history books. Centred on the idiosyncratic memories of his own childhood growing up in rural NSW, the show is a deeply personal elegy to the place of his upbringing that grapples with the passing of time and the importance of bringing our stories to the fore.

Incorporating photography, video work and new marble carvings alongside an original musical work, the solo exhibition captures Seton’s deep love of his childhood landscape and presents poignant and often humorous reflections on the fallibility of memory.

A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative.

Alex Seton is represented by Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney and Singapore.
